Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a Csmd3 for assessing the prognosis of glioma patients. + Microglial cell detection method. Background Technology

[0002] Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system, exhibiting high heterogeneity and invasiveness. Currently, clinical prognostic assessment of glioma patients mainly relies on histopathological grading and a few routine molecular markers. However, the tumor microenvironment of gliomas is complex, and routine detection methods are insufficient to deeply reflect the specific impact of immune microenvironment characteristics on long-term patient survival. Existing prognostic assessment methods based on macroscopic tissues or single markers lack precise microenvironmental cytology evidence, leading to significant individual differences in prognostic prediction results and making it difficult to accurately assess patient survival and provide reliable clinical data support.

[0003] In exploring potential target cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, current technologies largely rely on static clinical samples or conventional primary tumor-bearing animal models. These conventional models can only reflect the microenvironmental state at the time of tumor development or initial intervention, and cannot effectively simulate and reproduce the establishment and evolution of long-term anti-GBM immune memory. Because the industry lacks animal models that can effectively simulate the evolution of "long-term survival" in glioma patients or reproduce the state of "immunocure" after experiencing a "second tumor challenge," current research struggles to reliably identify specific immune cell subsets and their characteristic genes that truly drive and maintain long-term survival.

[0004] Furthermore, existing research on preliminarily screened tumor microenvironment cell populations is often limited to single-dimensional phenotypic correlation analysis or simple basic expression level verification (such as histological fluorescence staining or Western blot detection), lacking a systematic functional intervention and mechanism confirmation paradigm. Although modern cell modification technologies such as gene editing are relatively mature, when applying them to confirm tumor microenvironment targets, existing research generally lacks a comprehensive closed-loop evaluation system covering "in vitro cell activity targeting regulation - in vivo tumor immune microenvironment remodeling assessment - combined immune checkpoint therapy response". This lack of a systematic confirmation mechanism means that the screened cell markers remain at the theoretical correlation stage and are difficult to transform into clear clinical intervention targets, limiting their practical application in the development of novel glioma immunotherapies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a Csmd3 method for assessing the prognosis of glioma patients. +The microglia detection method addresses the problems of low prediction accuracy due to the lack of precise microenvironmental cytology evidence in existing glioma prognostic assessments, the inability of conventional screening models to stably identify anti-GBM immune memory cell populations due to data noise interference, and the difficulty in substantially transforming preliminary screened cell markers into clinically effective intervention targets due to the lack of systematic in vivo and in vitro functional and combined drug response confirmation.

The relative proportion value is calculated based on the target subpopulation enrichment score and the total microglia enrichment score, and the relative proportion value is determined as the clinical abundance parameter of the target cell subpopulation in each glioma patient sample. Configure a survival analysis algorithm to calculate the median value of the clinical abundance parameter, and use this as a dividing threshold to divide the multiple glioma patient samples corresponding to the clinical transcriptome data into a high abundance sample group and a low abundance sample group. Acquire clinical survival data, input the high-abundance sample group, the low-abundance sample group, and the clinical survival data into the survival analysis algorithm for calculation, and obtain survival prognosis assessment data; Using the survival prognostic assessment data, the overall survival of the high-abundance sample group and the low-abundance sample group is compared. It is determined that the overall survival of the high-abundance sample group is longer than that of the low-abundance sample group. The prognostic correlation verification results are output, showing that the clinical abundance parameters of the target cell subpopulation are positively correlated with the survival prognosis of the glioma patients corresponding to the glioma patient samples.

TN - The biological characteristics of GBM cells were analyzed, and single-cell suspensions were prepared. Experimental mice of a predetermined strain (e.g., the Kunming mouse strain) were obtained. The right striatal region of the experimental mice was selected as the target inoculation site. Single-cell suspensions obtained through in vivo passage were inoculated into the right striatal region at a seeding rate of 5 × 10^4 cells using a stereotaxic instrument to construct G422 cells.

Quality control, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and cell subpopulation annotation were conducted on single-cell transcriptome sequencing data from the multi-omics sequencing data. Cell composition differences between immunized cured mice and control mice in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment were compared. Combined with enrichment analysis results from the transcriptome sequencing data in the multi-omics sequencing data, a target cell subpopulation with increased numbers was identified from the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment. The target cell subpopulation was identified as Csmd3. + For microglia, transcriptomic characteristic parameters of the target cell subpopulation were further extracted based on multi-omics sequencing data.

[0026] After extracting transcriptomic characteristic parameters of target cell subpopulations based on multi-omics sequencing data, the present invention provides an overall system architecture that may include: an animal model discovery module, a clinical validation module, a functional intervention module, an in vivo assessment module, and a mechanism validation module.

[0027] The animal model discovery module is used to receive multi-omics sequencing data extracted from brain tissue samples of immune-cured mice, and to identify target cell subpopulations and generate their transcriptomics characteristic parameters based on the multi-omics sequencing data.

[0028] The clinical validation module is used to receive transcriptomics feature parameters, obtain clinical transcriptomics data and analysis results of glioma tissue samples. The clinical transcriptomics data is bulk RNA-seq data, and outputs the prognostic correlation validation results of the abundance parameters of the target cell subpopulation with the survival prognosis of glioma patients.

[0029] The functional intervention module is used to acquire data generated from functional intervention experiments based on the mouse BV2 microglia cell line and mouse GL261-GBM. The experiments utilize the CRISPR activation system to generate MG cells. OE-Csmd3,BV2 and MG OE-Csmd3,BV2 We co-cultured tumor cells derived from mouse GL261-GBM in vitro to generate in vitro tumor suppression data.

[0030] The liveness assessment module is used to obtain MG-based... OE-Csmd3,BV2 Compared with mouse GL261-GBM and mouse G422 TN The co-implanted tumor model data was constructed using GBM glioma cell lines. The in vivo assessment module evaluated the co-implanted tumor model, obtained tumor growth volume data and mouse survival data, and received histological measurement results of brain tumor tissue samples, extracting structural distribution density data.

[0031] The in vivo assessment module is used to evaluate immunotherapy response and long-term immune memory function in stages. The in vivo assessment module receives co-implanted models (including MG) for the initial vaccination. OE-Csmd3,BV2 Combined therapy survival data (including co-implantation with pre-defined type GBM cells) following injection of a pre-defined PD-1 immune checkpoint blocking antibody were used to determine MG OE-Csmd3,BV2 The triggering characteristics of drug sensitivity to immunotherapy are then used. The in vivo assessment module receives secondary tumor growth and survival data after tumor reimplantation (i.e., re-entry of homologous GBM cells without any treatment) in mice that have achieved long-term survival. Based on the data, it is confirmed whether long-term anti-GBM immune memory has been established in the mice (i.e., immune cure has been achieved).

[0032] The mechanism validation module utilizes data from extracted microglia total RNA, tumor tissue total RNA, tissue section microscopic analysis results, and multiplex in vivo detection components (including in vivo imaging detection components) to perform multi-level molecular, tissue, and in vivo MG analysis. OE-Csmd3,BV2 The mechanism for promoting tumor microenvironment remodeling and establishing long-term anti-GBM immune cure was comprehensively validated.

[0033] After clarifying the overall system architecture and the division of labor among the modules, the specific implementation steps of this invention first involve the animal model discovery module performing the screening and confirmation of target cells, as detailed in the appendix. Figure 2 The present invention provides a method for integrating single-cell transcriptome sequencing data and identifying target cells, which may include: Brain tumor tissue samples were extracted from immune-cured mice and control mice for sequencing to generate multi-omics sequencing data. The animal model discovery module acquired and separated this multi-omics sequencing data to obtain single-cell transcriptome sequencing data. The animal model discovery module then performed quality control on the single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, removing cells with gene expression counts between 200 and 10,000 and cells with a mitochondrial gene proportion greater than 15%. The quality-controlled single-cell sequencing dataset (e.g., ...) was then output. Figure 2 A, Figure 2 As shown in B), the animal model discovery module uses a two-cell prediction algorithm to perform two-cell identification processing on the quality-controlled single-cell sequencing dataset. The two-cell prediction algorithm is used to calculate the two-cell score parameters of each cell in the quality-controlled single-cell sequencing dataset (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in C), the animal model discovery module removes cell data with a two-cell score greater than 0.15 based on the two-cell score parameter, and generates a standard single-cell feature matrix.

[0034] See attached document Figure 2 The animal model discovery module performs data normalization and data scaling on the standard single-cell feature matrix.

[0035] The animal model detection module performs gene variability analysis on the scaled standard single-cell feature matrix, identifying multiple highly variable feature genes. It then extracts the top 2000 highly variable feature genes and performs principal component analysis (PCA) based on these genes. The module obtains the PCA results and applies batch effect correction algorithms to the PCA results (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown in D), the animal model discovery module uses a dimensionality reduction algorithm to perform dimensionality reduction on the data based on the first 15 principal components after correction, and outputs a dimensionality-reduced integrated dataset.

[0036] The animal model discovery module performs cluster analysis on the dimensionality-reduced integrated dataset at a resolution of 0.8, constructs a shared nearest neighbor network graph, and obtains multiple cell clusters generated by the cluster analysis (such as...). Figure 2 As shown in E), the animal model discovery module calculates differentially expressed characteristic genes from multiple cell clusters. The animal model discovery module acquires copy number variation event data generated by the chromosome copy number variation inference algorithm and combines it with differentially expressed characteristic genes from multiple cell clusters (such as...). Figure 2 F, Figure 2 As shown in G), multiple cell cluster annotations are divided into G422. TN -GBM tumor cell groups and non-tumor cell groups.

[0037] The animal model discovery module classifies non-tumor cell groups into cell subpopulations, such as... Figure 3As shown in Figure A, the animal model discovery module uses a UMAP plot to display all cell types in the dimensionality-reduced integrated dataset (i.e., region A); as... Figure 3 As shown in B, the animal model discovery module uses a heatmap to display the expression of marker genes for each cell type (i.e., region B).

[0038] The animal model discovery module identifies the total microglia population from non-tumor cell populations and extracts characteristic genes from this population to construct a characteristic gene set. The module calculates differentially expressed genes among different subpopulations within the total microglia population relative to other cell populations in the non-tumor cell population. The module obtains the Csmd3 gene as a target identification gene and uses differentially expressed genes to assess the expression level of the target identification gene within the total microglia population. Based on the expression level, the module isolates specific cell clusters expressing the target identification gene from the total microglia population. These specific cell clusters are then identified as the target cell subpopulation, and the target cell subpopulation is identified as Csmd3. + Microglia, animal model discovery module statistically reduced and integrated the cell composition ratio of immune-cured mice and control mice in the dataset (e.g. Figure 3 As shown in C), the animal model discovery module determined that the proportion of target cell subsets in immune-cured mice was higher than that in control mice.

[0039] The animal model discovery module identifies T cell and B cell populations from non-tumor cell populations. The animal model discovery module confirms that the distribution abundance of T cell and B cell populations in immune-cured mice is higher than that in control mice. The target cell subsets, T cell populations, and B cell populations together constitute the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment of immune-cured mice.

[0040] After the target cell subsets, T cell populations, and B cell populations jointly constitute the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment in immunocured mice, refer to the appendix. Figure 4 The present invention provides a method for dual verification of transcriptome data and histology, which may include: The animal model discovery module separates and obtains transcriptome sequencing data from multi-omics sequencing data. The animal model discovery module is equipped with a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm: specifically, the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm refers to ssGSEA. Based on single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, the animal model discovery module extracts characteristic genes of target cell subpopulations and constructs a characteristic gene set of the target subpopulation. At the same time, based on the microglia group in the single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, the animal model discovery module extracts microglia characteristic genes and constructs a total microglia characteristic gene set.

[0041] The animal model discovery module uses a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm to process transcriptome sequencing data. The module inputs the target subpopulation characteristic gene set into the algorithm to calculate the subpopulation enrichment score (e.g., ...) for each sample in the transcriptome sequencing data. Figure 4 As shown in A), the animal model discovery module inputs the total microglia characteristic gene set into the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm to calculate the total microglia enrichment score of each sample in the transcriptome sequencing data.

[0042] The animal model detection module calculates the ratio between the subpopulation enrichment score and the total microglia enrichment score to obtain the relative proportion of the target cell subpopulation in the total microglia (i.e., the relative proportion parameter, such as...). Figure 4 As shown in B).

[0043] The animal model discovery module determined that the enrichment degree and relative proportion of target cell subpopulations in immunized cured mice were higher than those in control mice by comparing the subpopulation enrichment scores and relative proportion parameters between immunized cured mice and control mice. The enrichment analysis results of transcriptome sequencing data verified the existence of target cell subpopulations in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment of immunized cured mice.

[0044] See attached document Figure 5 Normal mice were obtained and their brain tissue was extracted. The brain tissue was sectioned to obtain brain tissue slice samples. Pre-set CSMD3 antibody and pre-set IBA1 antibody were obtained. The brain tissue slice samples were then subjected to immunofluorescence double staining using the CSMD3 antibody and IBA1 antibody to target and label the CSMD3 protein and IBA1 protein in the brain tissue slice samples, and the immunofluorescence staining pattern was obtained (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown in A).

[0045] The animal model discovery module obtained and identified cells expressing both CSMD3 and IBA1 proteins in the cortical region of brain tissue slices using immunofluorescence staining. The immunofluorescence staining confirmed the presence of the target cell subset in the brain tissue. The animal model discovery module also obtained mouse BV2 microglia and human HMO6 microglia. The animal model discovery module jointly identified the mouse BV2 microglia and human HMO6 microglia as the validation cell lines.

[0046] Total protein was extracted from the validation cell line and detected using Western blotting technology to obtain Western blotting data (e.g., ...). Figure 5As shown in B), the animal model discovery module uses Western blot data to determine the expression of CSMD3 protein in the validation cell line. It then uses CSMD3 antibody to perform immunofluorescence staining on the validation cell line, acquiring immunofluorescence staining images. The animal model discovery module combines these staining images to verify the intracellular localization of CSMD3 protein (e.g., ...). Figure 5 C Figure 5 As shown in D), both Western blot data and immunofluorescence staining results demonstrated that CSMD3 protein is endogenously expressed in both mouse and human microglia. Brain tissue sections were obtained from immunized cured mice (original tumor inoculation area) and control mice. Immunofluorescence double staining was performed on the brain tissue sections using CSMD3 antibody and IBA1 antibody to obtain tissue staining images (e.g., as shown in D). Figure 5 E is shown.

[0047] Animal model detection module compared staining results and determined that the number of target cell subpopulations in brain tumor tissue sections of immune-cured mice was higher than that in brain tumor tissue sections of control mice. The staining results were consistent with the analysis results of single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, further confirming the increase of target cell subpopulations in immune-cured mice.

[0048] After the analysis of staining results and single-cell transcriptome sequencing data was consistent, further confirming the increase of the target cell subset in immune-cured mice, refer to the appendix... Figure 6 The present invention provides a method for analyzing the phenotype and state of immune cells, which may include: The animal model discovery module extracts target cell subpopulations from single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, originating from immunized-cured mice and control mice, respectively. The module then calculates differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the target cell subpopulations of immunized-cured mice relative to those in control mice, obtaining the set of upregulated genes.

[0049] The animal model discovery module is equipped with a biological pathway enrichment analysis algorithm (such as GO enrichment analysis). This module uses the algorithm to process the upregulated gene set and obtain biological pathway enrichment data (such as...). Figure 6 As shown in A), the animal model detection module simultaneously calculates the characteristic scores of specific inflammatory signaling pathways within the target cell subpopulation, generating phenotypic quantitative data (such as...). Figure 6 As shown in B).

[0050] Biological pathway enrichment data included characteristic parameters of immune inflammatory response pathways such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway activation and leukocyte migration. Phenotypic quantitative data included signaling characteristic scores of IL-1, TNF, IL-6, and NF-κB. Furthermore, the animal model discovery module identified Csmd3 through expression analysis of key regulatory factors of innate immune memory (IIM).+ Microglia upregulate key transcription factors of innate immune memory (IIM), such as... Figure 6 (as shown in C) The animal model discovery module used enrichment analysis of differentially expressed gene sets to significantly upregulate characteristic score data and key transcription factors of innate immune memory (IIM), and determined that the cellular state of the target cell subset in immune-cured mice was in an immune-activated state, exhibiting the innate immune memory (IIM) phenotype.

[0051] The animal model discovery module extracts T cell populations from single-cell transcriptome sequencing data and acquires preset T cell memory population marker genes (such as CD44, CD62L, etc.) to construct a T cell memory marker gene set.

[0052] The animal model discovery module calculates the expression of specific T cell memory group marker genes (including Cd69, Itgae, Cd44, Sell, Ccr7, Il7r, and Il15ra) within T cell populations (e.g., Figure 6 As shown in D), the animal model discovery module determined that the T cell population in the immunized mice possessed tissue residency memory phenotype characteristics by comparing the expression levels of the aforementioned specific genes in immunized cured mice and control mice.

[0053] The animal model discovery module extracts B cell populations from single-cell transcriptome sequencing data, acquires pre-defined memory B cell markers (including Cxcr5 and Cr2 genes), and analyzes the expression of memory B cell markers within the B cell population (e.g., ...). Figure 6 E is shown.

[0054] The animal model discovery module, by comparing the expression of Cxcr5 and Cr2 genes in immunized cured mice and control mice, determined that the B cell population in immunized cured mice possesses immune memory phenotype characteristics. After confirming the memory phenotypes of the target subset, T cell population, and B cell population in immunized cured mice, the animal model discovery module, referring to the appendix... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The present invention provides a method for analyzing the tumor killing activation state in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment, which may include: The single-cell transcription feature matrix is ​​extracted. The animal model discovery module is equipped with a cell communication analysis algorithm. The single-cell transcription feature matrix is ​​input into the cell communication analysis algorithm for calculation and processing to obtain receptor-ligand interaction data.

[0055] The animal model discovery module used receptor-ligand interaction data to determine that in immune-cured mice, the overall number of cell-to-cell communication interactions increased, but the communication strength decreased. The decrease in strength was mainly attributed to G422. TN-GBM tumor cells exhibit weakened self-interaction, indicating suppressed tumor growth (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (As shown in AB). Conversely, the target cell subset, T RM Cells, B M Cells and G422 TN -Communication between GBM tumor cells is generally enhanced, among which T RM Cells and G422 TN The most significant increase in communication between GBM tumor cells is observed, specifically: T RM Cells include tissue-resident memory T cells, such as TRM cells, and B cells. M The cell is a memory B cell.

[0056] Furthermore, signaling pathways exhibiting enhanced characteristics were extracted, revealing that in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment of immunized mice, PARs (including Gzma-Pard3 and Gzma-F2r), TRAIL, and LCK signaling pathways were significantly increased (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown in CE); specific receptor-ligand pairs were extracted, and it was determined that specific signals mediated by the Cd6-Alcam, Cd226-Pvr, and Tnfsf10-Tnfrsf10b receptor-ligand pairs constituted the specific T cells in immune-cured mice. RM -G422 TN -GBM interaction networks (such as Figure 7 As shown in F).

[0057] See attached document Figure 8 AC, the animal model discovery module will T / T RM Cells are subdivided into CD4 + CD8 + Double positive (DP, CD4) + CD8 + ) and double negative (DN, CD4) - CD8 - Subgroups were identified, and pseudo-temporal analysis was used to determine their potential differentiation trajectories. The animal model discovery module, through comparison, determined that CD8+ in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment of immunized cured mice... + T RM Cells were significantly enriched, and CD4 + T RM The cells also proliferated and exhibited an inflammatory phenotype (CD69). hi CD103 lo )(like Figure 8 (As shown in D). Further analysis of the communication network confirmed that in the activated microenvironment, CD8... + T RM Cells act as the primary signal senders and receivers, while CD4... +T RM Cells primarily act as signal transducers to regulate CD8. + T RM activity (e.g.) Figure 8 (As shown in E). In summary, the animal model discovery module, by integrating the aforementioned receptor-ligand communication network and T cell subpopulation status, determined that the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment in immunized healed mice was in an activated state of anti-tumor killing.

[0058] The animal model discovery module extracts data from the target cell subset (Csmd3). + Microglia), B / B M Cells and CD4 + / CD8 + T RM Anti-GBM immune memory units, composed of cells, were calculated and established to create specific cell communication regulatory networks among the constituent cells within these units (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown).

[0059] The animal model discovery module establishes a cell communication regulatory network for target cell subsets, T cell populations, and B cell populations within the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment based on signaling pathway connectivity strength.

[0060] After establishing the cell communication regulatory network of target cell subsets, T cell populations, and B cell populations in the anti-GBM immune memory microenvironment based on signal pathway connectivity strength in the animal model discovery module, refer to the appendix. Figure 10 The present invention provides a survival prognostic analysis method based on a public database, which may include: The clinical validation module acquires data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database, and uses these two databases as the data sources for clinical validation. The clinical validation module obtains TCGA glioma transcriptome data and TCGA survival data from the TCGA database, and CGGA glioma transcriptome data and CGGA survival data from the CGGA database.

[0061] The clinical validation module is equipped with a batch effect correction algorithm. The clinical validation module uses the batch effect correction algorithm to eliminate the systematic error between TCGA glioma transcriptome data and CGGA glioma transcriptome data, integrates the corrected data to generate clinical transcriptome data, and integrates TCGA survival data with CGGA survival data to generate clinical survival data that matches the clinical transcriptome data.

[0062] The clinical validation module acquires the target subpopulation characteristic gene set and the total microglia characteristic gene set constructed by the animal model discovery module. The clinical validation module is equipped with a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm. The clinical validation module uses the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis algorithm to calculate the subpopulation enrichment score of each patient sample in the clinical transcriptome data relative to the target subpopulation characteristic gene set and the total microglia enrichment score relative to the total microglia characteristic gene set. The clinical validation module uses the subpopulation enrichment score and the total microglia enrichment score to calculate the ratio between the two and determine it as the relative clinical abundance parameter of the target cell subpopulation in each patient sample in the clinical transcriptome data.

[0063] The clinical validation module determines the relative clinical abundance parameter (i.e., the ratio of subset enrichment score to total microglia enrichment score) as the final clinical abundance parameter of the target cell subset in each patient sample (e.g., ...). Figure 10 A, Figure 10 As shown in C), the clinical validation module is equipped with survival analysis algorithms, including the Kaplan-Meier algorithm and the Log-rank test algorithm. The clinical validation module calculates the median value of the clinical abundance parameter and uses it as a threshold to divide the patient samples corresponding to the clinical transcriptome data into high abundance sample groups and low abundance sample groups.

[0064] The clinical validation module inputs the classification results of the high-abundance sample group, the classification results of the low-abundance sample group, and clinical survival data into the survival analysis algorithm for calculation, and obtains survival prognostic assessment data (such as...). Figure 10 B. Figure 10 (as shown in D).

[0065] The clinical validation module uses survival prognostic assessment data to compare the overall survival of the high-abundance sample group and the low-abundance sample group. The clinical validation module determines that the overall survival of the high-abundance sample group is significantly longer than that of the low-abundance sample group. The clinical validation module outputs a prognostic correlation validation result that the clinical abundance parameter of the target cell subset (i.e., the ratio of the subset enrichment score to the total microglia enrichment score) is positively correlated with the survival prognosis of glioma patients.

[0066] After the clinical validation module outputs the prognostic correlation validation results showing a positive correlation between the clinical abundance parameters of the target cell subset and the survival prognosis of glioma patients, refer to the appendix. Figure 11 Appendix Figure 12 The present invention provides a clinical histological and single-cell level verification method, which may include: Glioma tissue samples were obtained, and paraffin sections were prepared from the glioma tissue samples. Pre-defined CSMD3 and IBA1 antibodies were acquired. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed on the tissue sections using the CSMD3 and IBA1 antibodies to target and label the CSMD3 and IBA1 proteins within the glioma tissue samples. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining images were obtained (e.g., ...). Figure 11 (As shown in A).

[0067] The clinical validation module is equipped with an image analysis algorithm. The clinical validation module receives multiple immunofluorescence staining images and uses the image analysis algorithm to analyze the image features of the multiple immunofluorescence staining images to identify specific cell groups in the tissue microarray samples that simultaneously express CSMD3 and IBA1 proteins. The clinical validation module defines the specific cell groups as clinical homologous target cell groups.

[0068] The clinical validation module uses image analysis algorithms to calculate the spatial distribution characteristics of clinically homologous target cell populations in multiplex immunofluorescence staining images. It then uses these spatial distribution characteristics to calculate the infiltration density of the clinically homologous target cell populations in glioma tissue samples (e.g., ...). Figure 11 B. Figure 11 As shown in C), the clinical validation module uses the analysis results of multiplex immunofluorescence staining images and the infiltration density as the histological validation results of the clinical homologous target cell population. The histological validation results of the clinical homologous target cell population confirm the existence of a cell population with homologous protein expression characteristics to the target cell subpopulation in human glioma tissue.

[0069] The clinical validation module acquires the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and extracts human glioma single-cell transcriptome data from the GEO database (e.g., Figure 12 A, Figure 12 (As shown in B) Specifically, single-cell transcriptome data refers to scRNA-seq data. The clinical validation module performs quality control and dimensionality reduction clustering on human glioma single-cell transcriptome data to construct a clinical single-cell sequencing dataset (such as...). Figure 12 C Figure 12 (as shown in D).

[0070] The clinical validation module acquires preset microglia markers, including the AIF1 gene and the GPR34 gene. The clinical validation module analyzes the expression of microglia markers in each cell in the clinical single-cell sequencing dataset and extracts the clinical microglia population.

[0071] The clinical validation module uses the CSMD3 gene as a target identification gene, evaluates the expression intensity of the target identification gene within clinical microglia, and isolates specific cell clusters expressing the CSMD3 gene from the clinical microglia population, defining them as clinical homologous single-cell subpopulations.

[0072] The clinical validation module calculates the proportion of clinically homologous single-cell subsets in patients with low-grade gliomas, newly diagnosed glioblastomas, and recurrent glioblastomas, as well as the percentage of clinically homologous single-cell subsets in the total clinical microglia population (e.g., ...). Figure 12 E, Figure 12 As shown in F), the histological verification results of the clinical homologous target cell population and the single-cell transcriptomic verification results of the clinical homologous single cell subpopulation jointly confirmed the existence of the target cell subpopulation in the human clinical glioma microenvironment, and that it decreased with the increase of glioma malignancy.

[0073] After the histological validation results of the clinically homologous target cell population and the single-cell transcriptomic validation results of the clinically homologous single-cell subset jointly confirmed the existence of the target cell subset in the human clinical glioma microenvironment and its anti-tumor immunological properties, refer to the appendix.

Figure 13As shown in Figure A, the CRISPR activation system includes a first lentiviral particle expressing inactivated Cas9 protein, a second lentiviral particle expressing transcription activation domains (e.g., p65), and a single-guideRNA lentiviral backbone plasmid. The single-guideRNA sequence is cloned into the single-guideRNA lentiviral backbone plasmid to construct a single-guideRNA expression vector. A pre-defined viral packaging helper plasmid is obtained. Using the single-guideRNA expression vector and the viral packaging helper plasmid, a third lentiviral particle carrying the single-guideRNA sequence is prepared. The first lentiviral particle is used to infect the mouse BV2 microglia cell line, and a first-line antibiotic is used for initial screening to obtain a first-line resistant cell population expressing inactivated Cas9 protein. The second lentiviral particle is then used to infect the first-line resistant cell population, and a second-line antibiotic is used for secondary screening to obtain a second-line resistant cell population simultaneously expressing inactivated Cas9 protein and transcription activation domains. Finally, the third lentiviral particle is used to infect the second-line resistant cell population, and a third-line antibiotic is used for final screening. A stable transfected cell population was obtained. The first resistance drug was blastomycin, the second resistance drug was hygromycin B, and the third resistance drug was puromycin. As a control, empty lentiviral particles containing non-target control sequences were used to replace the third lentiviral particles. Mouse BV2 microglia were co-infected to construct a control group. Total RNA was extracted from the stable transfected cell population and the control group cells. The total microglia RNA included messenger RNA from the mouse Csmd3 gene. The total microglia RNA was reverse transcribed into complementary DNA. The complementary DNA was amplified and detected using a quantitative reverse transcription PCR detection kit to obtain transcriptional expression data (e.g., ...). Figure 13 (as shown in D).

[0075] The functional intervention module receives transcriptional expression data, confirming that the messenger RNA expression level of the mouse Csmd3 gene in the stable transfected cell population is higher than that in the control group. Total protein from microglia in both the stable transfected and control cell populations is extracted, and the total protein from microglia is detected using a Western blot assay to obtain quantitative Western blot data (e.g., ...). Figure 13 B. Figure 13 (as shown in C).

[0076] The functional intervention module received and utilized Western blot quantitative data to determine that the expression abundance of CSMD3 protein in the stable transfected cell population was higher than that in the control group. Based on the comprehensive verification results of transcriptional expression data and Western blot quantitative data, the functional intervention module identified the stable transfected cell population as MG.

Figure 14 As shown in Figure D), the target cell subset exhibited a strong pro-inflammatory and anti-tumor phenotype at the omics level. Mouse GL261-GBM cells labeled with luciferase were obtained, and an in vitro direct cell co-culture system was constructed to culture MG cells. OE-Csmd3,BV2 Direct contact mixing with mouse GL261-GBM cells labeled with luciferase (e.g.) Figure 15 As shown in Figure A), the cells were placed in a direct cell co-culture system for the first experimental group incubation treatment. A pre-set fluorescein substrate reagent was obtained and added to the direct cell co-culture system after the first experimental group incubation treatment. A bioluminescence imaging component was configured, and bioluminescence images of the direct cell co-culture system were acquired using the bioluminescence imaging component. The bioluminescence radiance values ​​of the region of interest were extracted, and an in vitro indirect cell co-culture system (such as...) was constructed. Figure 15 As shown in Figure A), MG is separated using a pre-designed co-culture separation chamber. OE-Csmd3,BV2Mouse GL261-GBM cells labeled with luciferase were physically isolated and seeded separately in the upper and lower chambers of an indirect cell co-culture system for a second experimental group incubation treatment. A cell viability detection kit was prepared, and after the second experimental group incubation treatment, mouse GL261-GBM cells were extracted from the lower chamber. The relative cell viability data of the indirectly co-cultured mouse GL261-GBM cells were measured using the cell viability detection kit. Based on the bioluminescent radiance value and the relative cell viability data, the MG (molecular weight) was determined. OE-Csmd3,BV2 It has the ability to inhibit the proliferation of mouse GL261-GBM cells (e.g. Figure 15 (as shown in B-15E).

OE-Csmd3,BV2 The first and second GBM cells were mixed in a cell resuspension to construct the first and second co-implanted cell suspensions, respectively. Experimental mice with immune backgrounds matched to the first and second GBM cells were obtained and divided into four groups: a first tumor model mouse group, a first tumor model control mouse group, a second tumor model mouse group, and a second tumor model control mouse group. A stereotactic injection device was configured, and the first co-implanted cell suspension was injected into the brain tissue region of the first tumor model mouse group to construct the GL261-GBM co-implanted tumor model. The second co-implanted cell suspension was injected into the brain tissue region of the second tumor model mouse group to construct the G422 co-implanted tumor model.

For the GL261-GBM co-implanted tumor model, the in vivo imaging detection component acquired in vivo image data to obtain tumor in vivo growth data. A portion of brain tissue from the GL261-GBM co-implanted tumor model was extracted and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.

TN- A GBM co-implanted tumor model was used, with brain tissue directly extracted and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The area of ​​the largest cross-section of the tumor was measured using a tissue section staining component to obtain the second tumor burden data. Survival time was integrated to obtain mouse survival data for each co-implanted tumor model. Using in vivo tumor growth data, first tumor burden data, second tumor burden data, and mouse survival data, the MG (tumor leukemia) was comprehensively determined. OE-Csmd3,BV2 It has an inhibitory effect on tumor growth in the in vivo environment.

[0078] To further verify MG OE-Csmd3,BV2 For the general applicability of antitumor activity, please refer to the appendix. Figure 16 This invention provides a method for experimental verification of co-implantation of multiple gliomas in vivo. The mechanism verification module is constructed based on mouse G422. TN The detailed implementation and validation steps for the GBM cell co-implantation model are as follows: First, obtain mouse G422 TN -GBM primary cells, and obtain the preset cell resuspension, G422 TN GBM cells were not treated with luciferase labeling, and the prepared MG cells were... OE-Csmd3,BV2 With mouse G422 TN GBM cells were thoroughly mixed in a cell resuspension according to a predetermined ratio to construct a second co-implantation cell suspension. Simultaneously, as a parallel control, control group microglia were mixed with mouse G422 cells. TN GBM cells were mixed in a cell resuspension to construct a second control cell suspension. Next, cells similar to mouse G422 cells were obtained. TN - Kunming wild-type experimental mice with GBM cell immune background were randomly divided into a second experimental mouse group and a second control mouse group. A brain stereotactic injection device was configured to accurately inject the second co-implanted cell suspension into the brain tissue region of the second experimental mouse group using the device, and the second control cell suspension was injected into the brain tissue region of the second control mouse group with the same volume and coordinates.

[0079] Then, a morphological assessment of tumor growth inhibition was performed. After the preset assessment period, brain tissue from the second experimental mouse group and the second control mouse group was extracted and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Through microscopic observation, the area of ​​the largest cross-section of the tumor in the brain tissue slices was accurately measured and compared to objectively reflect the growth burden of the solid tumor, thereby obtaining the second tumor burden data (e.g., Figure 16 As shown in F).

[0080] To continuously assess the survival benefit, the mechanism validation module continuously observes and receives survival time records from each experimental mouse in the second experimental mouse group and each control mouse in the second control mouse group, and then plots and obtains the second survival data (such as...). Figure 16 As shown in G).

[0081] The mechanism validation module used second tumor burden data and second survival data for comprehensive comparison: it determined that the tumor burden in the second experimental mouse group was significantly lower than that in the second control mouse group, and the median survival in the second experimental mouse group was significantly longer than that in the second control mouse group. The mechanism validation module is based on the above-mentioned GL261-GBM model and G422. TN - The dual in vivo validation results of the GBM model comprehensively confirm: MG OE-Csmd3,BV2 In glioma models with different genetic backgrounds and tumor microenvironments, it exhibits significant, stable, and universally applicable anti-tumor growth and prolongation of survival functions.

[0082] See attached document Figure 17 This invention provides a method for tumor microenvironment remodeling analysis and triggering immunotherapy response assessment. Based on the aforementioned findings on anti-tumor proliferation, this invention further explores the role of tumor microenvironment remodeling (MG). OE-Csmd3,BV2 The detailed implementation steps for inducing the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures and triggering the responsiveness of immune checkpoint blockers in the glioma microenvironment are as follows: In order to be on G422 TN The GBM model further validates the tumor microenvironment remodeling mechanism. The mechanism validation module performs morphological assessment of the tertiary lymphoid structure, extracts brain tumor tissue samples from mice in the second experimental mouse group and the second control mouse group, sections the brain tumor tissue samples to obtain second tumor tissue sections, and obtains preset CD20 antibody (B cell marker) and preset CD3 antibody (T cell marker). Immunohistochemical staining of the second tumor tissue sections is performed using CD20 and CD3 antibodies to target CD20 and CD3 proteins within the double-labeled sections. The mechanism validation module uses a built-in microscopic image analysis algorithm to identify the spatial structure of tightly clustered T cells and B cells (i.e., the tertiary lymphoid structure) and accurately calculates the number and area data of the tertiary lymphoid structures in the second tumor tissue sections (e.g., ...). Figure 17 D、 Figure 17 E, Figure 17 F, Figure 17 (As shown in G), the mechanism verification module used quantity and area data to determine that the number and area of ​​tertiary lymphoid structures in the second experimental mouse group were significantly higher than those in the second control mouse group, confirming the application of MG. OE-Csmd3,BV2 It can effectively induce and promote the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures in the tumor microenvironment.

[0083] To assess the model's potential response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy at the molecular level, the mechanism validation module performed target gene expression level analysis (e.g., Figure 17 H, Figure 17 I, Figure 17Total RNA was extracted from brain tumor tissue samples (as shown in SEQ ID NO: 8 and 9). The total RNA included messenger RNA of the Pdcd1 gene (encoding the PD-1 protein). Pre-defined Pdcd1 gene-specific amplification primers were obtained. Using a quantitative reverse transcription PCR detection component and the Pdcd1 gene amplification primers, the expression level of the Pdcd1 gene messenger RNA in the total RNA of the tumor tissue was accurately measured. The mechanism verification module received the measurement results and determined that: compared with the second control mouse group, the expression level of the Pdcd1 gene in the second experimental mouse group was significantly upregulated. This result indicates that MG... OE-Csmd3,BV2 It significantly altered the immunological characteristics of the tumor, providing a clear molecular mechanism basis for the subsequent direct introduction of PD-1 blockers for combination therapy.

[0084] Based on the above morphological and molecular mechanism evidence, in G422 TN -The GBM model formally conducts in vivo combined drug immunotherapy response assessment (e.g.) Figure 17 K, Figure 17 L, Figure 17 (as shown in M), re-acquired with mouse G422 TN - Primarily wild-type Kunming mice with perfectly matched GBM cell immune backgrounds were randomly divided into a second basic treatment group and a second combined treatment group. Using a stereotactic injection device, a system containing MG cells was constructed. OE-Csmd3,BV2 With mouse G422 TN A GBM cell-mediated tumor model was established using in situ co-implantation. Monoclonal antibodies targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and corresponding isotype control antibodies were obtained. Following a pre-defined treatment protocol, the PD-1 immune checkpoint blocking antibody was intraperitoneally injected into mice in the second combination therapy group, while the isotype control antibody was intraperitoneally injected into mice in the second basic therapy group. The mechanism validation module continuously observed and received survival time data from both groups after antibody injection, obtaining the survival results of the combination therapy. The mechanism validation module used the survival results of the combination therapy to determine that the survival rate and median survival time of the second combination therapy group were significantly higher than those of the second basic therapy group. Based on the above multi-dimensional mechanism validation results, it was confirmed that MG... OE-Csmd3,BV2 It can transform immune "cold tumors" into immune "hot tumors" rich in tertiary lymphoid structures, thus possessing the core function of significantly improving the sensitivity of gliomas to PD-1 immune checkpoint blocking antibody therapy; it should be noted that the stage survival assessment is only for the anti-tumor response of the first dose, and the entire process does not involve a second challenge to the tumor.

[0085] To confirm the long-lasting and specific nature of the antitumor immune response, refer to the appendix. Figure 18This invention provides an independent method for verifying the persistence of anti-GBM immune memory. The method aims to verify whether early intervention has successfully constructed a long-term immune barrier against tumor recurrence in the host. The specific implementation steps are detailed below: First, rigorous screening and control grouping of experimental animals were conducted: This was done to obtain MG samples from the initial stage. OE-Csmd3,BV2 With G422 TN In the GBM co-implantation assessment, experimental mice that survived the initial tumor risk period and reached the pre-defined observation endpoint were formally defined as the second long-term survival mouse group. Simultaneously, a group of age- and sex-matched normal mice that had not undergone any prior tumorigenesis treatment were obtained in parallel and used as the re-challenge control group. Cell suspensions for secondary tumor re-challenge were then prepared: G422 mice stably expressing luciferase were obtained as pre-defined cell suspensions. TN GBM cells were individually placed in a pre-designed cell resuspension solution for thorough resuspension and mixing to construct a third implanted single-cell suspension specifically for in vivo tracing.

[0086] Then, the tumor rechallenge procedure was performed: the stereotactic injection device was configured and used to precisely inject the third implanted single-cell suspension into the contralateral brain tissue region of each mouse in the second long-term survival mouse group and the rechallenge control mouse group. After the tumor rechallenge treatment was completed, no anti-tumor drugs or interventions were given to mice in any group.

[0087] Then, in vivo tracking and final confirmation of immune cure are performed: using in vivo imaging detection components, in vivo images of brain tissue regions in mice after tumor rechallenge are periodically acquired to obtain secondary tumor growth data (e.g., Figure 18 As shown in B), the survival rate data of these two groups of mice were recorded simultaneously (e.g., Figure 18 As shown in C), the mechanism verification module receives and comprehensively analyzes the above data. The results clearly show that all mice in the re-challenge control group died due to rapid tumor growth in vivo. In contrast, no imaging signs of tumor growth were observed in the brains of these second batch of long-term surviving mice after tumor re-challenge, and the survival rate after re-challenge remained at 100%. Based on the above rigorous in vivo and in vitro and multi-dimensional verification results, the MG mechanism in this invention is comprehensively confirmed. OE-Csmd3,BV2 It not only inhibits the primary tumor, but also possesses the core persistent function of inducing, establishing and maintaining long-lasting and specific anti-GBM immune memory in the host.

[0088] The above embodiments are for Csmd3 + Systematic confirmation of the prognostic value and immune mechanism of microglia in the glioma microenvironment, and the Csmd3 provided in this invention. +The microglia detection method, the target subpopulation characteristic gene set, and the detection reagents targeting CSMD3 and IBA1 proteins have clinical translational value and can be substantially applied to the preparation of medical prognostic assessment products for glioma patients. Specifically, the prognostic assessment products can take the form of clinical prognostic test kits, gene-targeted sequencing panels, customized microarray chips, or supporting medical data analysis software systems. In a specific implementation and translation scheme, specific amplification primers or fluorescent probes targeting each gene sequence within the target subpopulation characteristic gene set, or CSMD3 and IBA1 antibodies as core active ingredients, can be physically encapsulated to prepare standardized clinical prognostic test kits. These kits can be directly deployed in clinical laboratories to perform rapid and standardized targeted feature detection and subpopulation abundance quantification on biopsy tissue samples or transcriptome sequencing data from glioma patients.

[0089] Furthermore, in conjunction with the "Csmd3" already clearly verified in the in-body embodiments of this invention... + The detection methods and reagents described above, which demonstrate significant sensitization to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade antibodies and a 100% immunocure rate, can also be used to develop a clinical auxiliary assessment tool for "precisely screening patients with predisposition to immunotherapy in gliomas." In practical clinical applications, the tool operates as follows: by measuring and calculating the subgroup enrichment score and the total microglia enrichment score within the patient sample, the ratio of these two scores is calculated. This parameter is then compared to a predefined abundance threshold. If the patient is determined to be in a high-abundance sample group, clinical indications are given. Patients exhibit extremely high treatment sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1, and after combination therapy, they are highly likely to establish long-lasting anti-GBM immune memory in vivo, making them a population with a significant advantage. Conversely, if a patient is determined to be in the low abundance sample group, it indicates that the effect of using immune checkpoint inhibitors alone may be limited, requiring timely adjustment or the adoption of alternative personalized treatment strategies. This approach not only provides precise tumor microenvironment cytological markers for predicting the long-term survival of glioma patients, but also provides solid and reliable data decision support for clinicians to formulate and optimize individualized combination immunotherapy regimens.
